Today saw our squads take part in exercises focusing on defending, with detail added for this phase of the game. Throughout the last 3 days all of the players have had the task of adding keywords about our theme of the day, to the Park to Pro whiteboard. There was an impressive response today with over 25 descriptive words, that detail what defending is and how we do it.

During the afternoon there were a couple of showers that disrupted our training time, but we made full use of this opportunity by designing our own game plans, that we’re put to the test later on in the afternoon. There was some fantastic football on show, with enjoyment seen throughout.

Tomorrow the focus will be on transitioning to attack – when you regain the ball after defending.
